howies®

howies runs on two broadband lines. one out and one in.

Despite Steve getting us up and running on Friday we still only had one line so no e-mail for the shops.

Paul was on site today and spent the morning sending tones from our end down the line to the “pot” and from the exchange to the pot then joining the right wires.

And it worked! We have two lines again.

They widen the hole on our wire side later next week…

Lovely Sinead just finished the wall display for the new rock salt jeans here at Carnaby Street. It looks pretty darn good.

Always nice to have an artist in the group. You can find more about the new jean washes here for men and here for women, and you can find more of Sinead’s work on her website.

So this morning I arrived at work to find that Matt45 was wearing the red version of the Vail Tee I was wearing. Then Will rocked up and we soon realised we all looked like we’d been given orders to wear a new Staff Uniform. In the afternoon, this chap came in with his missus and she kindly took a photo of us  looking silly

(If you really wanna be in our gang, you’ll have to get yourself a new pair of howies jeans fella!)

Hey it’s a bank holiday.

Go get some…

We have a bunch of new things at Carnaby St today. Jess is sorting out the new denim.

I’m scanning in the new merino bits (Men’s and Women’s. Seriously soft stuff).

And Sinead and Toby are handling the new window and wall display (Jess is helping with that too).

New stuff. Holding hands. Good times.

This week’s T-shirt of the Week is ‘Multitasker’

Modern life has its demands.
So much to do, so little time.
Work, play, family, money and updating your Facebook page.
That’s why modern man (but primarily woman)
has become so good at juggling.
It seems it’s now the only way we can function.
Just don’t drop the ball.

Thought id share this little gem from last week, two great things. My favourite t-shirt in the howies store at the moment the ace Ride Like The Wind t-shirt and a whole heap of meat, cooked to perfection I may add. Just pop in tomorrow to buy the t-shirt get some meat on the way home and this dream could be reality (fingers crossed for no rain). You know you want to.

Cheers then Matt/45

The internet died a few hours before the Autumn site was due to go live.
Turns out it’s hard to run a website when you can’t get online.
So Plan B was a 6am start in the Cardigan shop to do the final bits and pieces.
Two sprints across town to HQ to get some files (my best time for the 1GB is 10 minutes)
A rebuilt SQL database and a jury-rigged XML upload.
And we’re live. The Autumn clothes are online and you can see the catalogue here.
Hope you like it, it’s been fun getting it ready.

School starts
Early sunsets
Picking berries
Trees transforming
Eerie mists
Migrating birds
Bonfires burning
Evenings snuggling
Rustling leaves

Autumn is on its way. And so is our new catalogue.

A copy of our full catalogue, or one of our cut-down newspaper versions
should be landing on your doormat any day now.
New jackets, jeans, dresses and knitwear. And the story of our surf team’s
trip across Ireland in an old Winnebago.

Alternatively, you can go look at all that stuff on our website, where youíll also find a downloadable PDF version of the catalogue.
